Donate Life ECHO

IMPORTANT DATES

Observance: July 9-22, 2017

Video Contest Opens: July 11, 2017

Donate Life ECHO is a national two-week outreach campaign, held each year during the second and third full weeks in July and focused on the importance of donation and transplantation in multicultural communities. ECHO stands for Every Community Has Opportunity – the opportunity to save and heal lives.

Donate Life ECHO was created in 2015 as a collaborative partnership between the Association for Multicultural Affairs in Transplantation (AMAT) and Donate Life America.

There are numerous ways to show your support of this observance. Review the resources below and decide the best way you can get involved.

TAKE-AWAY CARDS

Print these business card sized hand-outs on your home computer. They print 10 per page on 8.5” x 11” paper. Throughout the two week observance, hand cards to people throughout the day (grocery store clerk, bank teller, mail delivery person, school front office, etc) and ask them to keep the Donate Life ECHO going by registering and passing the card along.

VIDEO CONTEST

2017 Theme: #HearMyStoryOf

…Hope, waiting, LIFE or inspiration. What’s your story about? This year’s Donate Life ECHO video contest theme is #HearMyStoryOf. Storytelling spans time and cultures as a way to communicate, entertain and instill values. It is through stories that messages about donation can be heard deeper and resonate louder, especially within multicultural communities. In one minute or less, use your creativity to share your donation or transplantation story, spread the ECHO message and tell others to register to be organ, eye and tissue donors.
